Which of the following statements about the phosphorus cycle is false? The main abiotic reservoir for phosphorus is in the soil.

Plants release dissolved phosphate ions into the soil. Guano can be used by farmers to add phosphorus to the soil. Phosphates that drain from soils into the sea becomes part of new rock and will cycle back into living organisms.

Answer: The main abiotic reservoir for phosphorus is in the soul

Explanation:

Phosphorus cycle refers to the ways phosphorus moves from through lithosphere , hydrosphere and biosphere.

Phosphorus is essential for plants growth and major components of nucleotides in DNA and RNA. It is a major constituent of teeth.

Steps in phosphorus cycle are;

Weathering: the breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces. Rock is the major source of phosphorus.

Other sources of phosphorus is from phosphate fertilizers which is applied to the soil to be absorb by plant.

Absorbption of phosphorus: plant absorb phosphorus in the soil which is use for plants growth. Some phosphorus can be washed into the water system which is use by plants and animals there.

Return to the environment through decomposition: when plants and animals die, microbes acts on them and bring about decomposition. When they are decomposed,phosphorus is released into the environment.

Was the allele for white fur ever fully eliminated from the gene pool of the population? Explain why you think the allele would
Alina [70]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to hardy-weinberg principle that says in a large random mating population in the absence of migration,mutation and selection the gene and genotype frequency remains constant.

In a large random mating population the frequency of an Allele for white fur will remains in the population when there is no migration,mutation, or selection but the organism mate at random leading to production of offspring with similar Allele with there parents but when the population is small and random mating occur some allele will be selected against and lost in the population due to flunctuation in the population.
